After School are getting all the attention they deserve with their latest song, Because of You. It reminds me of a poppier version of 2NE1’s I don’t care. It’s a nice Winter song I think ^_^

JYP – No Love No More Live @ Music Bank
4 DecContinuing his promotions of come back single, No Love No More, JYP performed on Music Bank. As always, JYP delivers a highly professional performance! I think he must make his students work just as hard because they’re always so professional too and never sloppy. Wonder Girls and 2PM know their dance routines inside and out!
T-ara – Bo Peep Bo Peep Live @ Music Bank
4 Dec:D <3 T-ara! And finally they're performing live with their new material! Wahoo! The girls sang Bo Peep Bo Peep on Music Bank today and I really loved the performance. Their management has said they're going to promote with both songs so I can't wait for them to perform Like The First Time/Beginning. The girls continued the kitten theme with fur skirts and a couple wore kitten gloves. How cute! The singing wasn't great live but the song is more cutesy singing.
4Minute & Mario & Amen – Jingle Jingle MV
4 DecAwww, how nice is Christmas? Everyone loves the festive period! It’s all so pretty and cute and lovely~ *sigh* ^_^ 4Minute have released the MV for Jingle Jingle. It’s pretty cute, a lot less sexy and has the concept of a comic book. Pretty cool!
2PM – Heartbeat Live @ Blue Dragon Film Awards
3 DecFollowing on from manager, JYP, 2PM also performed at the prestigious film awards night. They sang Heartbeat, which is definitely one of my favourite songs of the year and clearly shows that Korean artists can perform and make music just as well and if not better than their American counterparts. I wish the world could see how talented Asian stars really are ^_^ Anyways, check out 2PM’s performance complete with rather nice clothes ripping towards the end!
JYP – No Love No More Live @ Blue Dragon Film Awards
3 DecOoo, JYP is making a great comeback! Who knew that he could still bust out moves like this and still sing? He has so much energy and so much love for his career. Definitely give him respect!
4Minute & Mario & Amen – Jingle Jingle
3 Dec4Minute are back with a very cute Christmas song. Continuing their electro/trance style they’ve teamed up with Mario & Amen to release this festive little ditty. It’s really cute, Jingle Jingle~ but it’s not amazing. But still, I love Christmas so all Christmas songs are great ^_^
Namie Amuro – Fast Car & The Meaning of Us MV ~ PAST < FUTURE
1 DecNamie Amuro is back with some MVs for Fast Car and The Meaning of Us from her 9th studio album, PAST <3 FUTURE. Fast Car is a pretty slick pop dance song that reminds me of her work from PLAY; all dancey but not overly r and b. The Meaning of Us sees Namie on winter ballad mode and she delivers really nice vocals. The song has a very simple structure and production which highlights Namie's singing. I think sometimes Namie can be forgotten for being able to sing because she releases so many upbeat songs, but when she sings a ballad it's beautiful. Her song Wishing On The Same Star is one of my favourite Namie songs.
Namie looks amazing in both MVs!!! I've never seen her look so beautiful, she gets more beautiful with every year that goes by. Fast Car continues her dominance of dance/hip-hop dance routines, this time with a fan as a prop! I've always liked Namie's dancing, it's not trashy or over the top or too hip-hop, although she is the self-titled queen of hip-pop. Namie seems to be loving the gothic lolita style and can be seen wearing lots of Victorian and French 19th century clothes. Although, I have to admit, there is quite a big similiarity between this MV and BoA's Do The Motion… I prefer BoA <3 The Meaning of Us sees Namie looking very simple, yet really pretty. She looks so beautiful whilst not trying hard – it's something I've not seen before from her. I'm really pleasantly surprised by how cute she looks. Normally she looks a bit vampish or disco for her MVs, but here she looks really pretty.
Namie Amuro – My Love & Copy That / PAST < FUTURE Album Cover
1 Dec
Namie Amuro is back! Yep, she’s finally back with a full album, entitled PAST < FUTURE. It has Wild/Dr. and new songs My Love & Copy That which are being used as the new Vidal Sasson CMs. The new songs sound pretty cool so far. I like My Love more than Copy That. Sadly, neither of these songs are getting an MV but she is releasing MVs for other songs to be used for promotion of the album which I'm really looking forward to :D I've always liked Namie, she's like a less hardcore Koda Kumi, or a more edgier Ayumi Hamasaki. She's not my favourite, but she makes pretty cool pop songs.
JYP – No Love No More MV
1 DecJYP’s new MV is out for No Love No More. I’m always pleasantly surprised by how generous JYP is to his groups, giving them the best songs and dance routines and making them work really hard, but also letting them have a life and some free time. Wonder Girls always look happy even when they’re working really hard. I think all that credit goes to JYP. JYP’s new song, No Love No More, is pretty slick! He’s so talented!
